Relating to prohibiting the transfer of firearms to certain recipients.
HB 2380 proposes to amend Texas Penal Code Section 46.06 by prohibiting firearm transfers to specific groups. It bans selling or giving firearms to minors under 18 (except with parental written permission), people under 21, individuals who are intoxicated, those convicted of felonies within five years of release, and people subject to active protective orders. Exceptions include transfers for peace officers or military personnel performing official duties. Violations would be Class A misdemeanors, with certain offenses (like selling to under-21s with handguns) classified as state jail felonies. The bill does not affect legal firearm owners but restricts transfers to the specified prohibited groups.
